Smells like it may possibly be a scam!
Also I think you may have spooked him.
I have been told some scary events involving CL. This one one sticks in my mind
A man who I sold a lathe to was me telling about a trailer on CL he wanted. He called and made arrangements to see it. The seller wanted him to pay with 2 pre paid credit cards which he bought and carried with him. When he got to the address it was a empty lot so he called the seller to make sure that he had the right address and the seller ask if he had any help with him and when the buyer said no the seller said to meet him at another site. At that point the buyer got scared and called the police who told him it sounded like a scam and not to go, so he gave the info to the police and went home. Now I'm not saying all CL lists are scams because I buy on CL a lot. BUT I am saying to take someone with you and not meet anybody anyplace that makes you uncomfortable.
